Dhruvraj Solanki
About Me
I’m a software engineer exploring blockchain infrastructure and DeFi.
As the founder
of Brew Labs HQ, where we build open source projects around solana validator client and tools.
I operate IceStaking, a high-performance Solana validator, and manage the dynoSOL stake pool, to support ecosystem contributors.
Note: The “sol” in my handle stands for Solanki, not Solana—and sadly I can’t airdrop free SOL. Also, I do not own dhruv.sol, but if you find him, send him my regards!
Thinking Aloud
A digital junk drawer of my brain — tweets, blogs, code rants, and mildly chaotic opinions. Mostly tech, occasionally coherent, always unfiltered. Proceed with curiosity (and low expectations).
